Emacs is terrible

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-16 10:57

It's simply impossible to become as quick in Emacs as one might be in vim. I've been trying, I've really been trying hard to like Emacs, because I want a decent IDE for Lisp. But it's just terrible. The editor is always getting in my way.

I have a new purpose in life. To clone vim in Common Lisp. This isn't reinventing the wheel, because whatever vi-mode they have in Emacs is still corrupted. A new viitor must surface, pure and handsome, with all the Lisp-friendliness of Emacs and all the awesomeness of vi.

I just wanted to get this off my chest, /prog/.

I pretty much feel like >>15, except code folding in Vim does suck. But it sucks in almost all languages though. That being said, I do favor short files, so I don't really care. Keyboard navigation in vim+project is awesome, especially quick search through the file list. So great. I'm way more productive than when I'm clicking about in an IDE.

Code folding doesn't suck in Visual Studio C#, though that's an IDE. But I think it worked pretty well in Notepad++ too.
